Some tasks have very long timeouts defined which expose bugs such as bug 1468926 where a task expired after 20 hours. We should re-evaluate the timeouts to ensure they are appropriate for each task.
The max-run-time for tasks appears to have been mostly cargo culted. In particular, a value of 36000 (10 hours) is quite absurd: no single task takes that long to execute. This commit reduces the max-run-time of several tasks to more reasonable values. The goal here is to prevent excessively long-running tasks. There is definitely room to further tweak values to further mitigate long-running tasks. But let's bite off the biggest chunk first, since that doesn't require much mental effort. There is a possibility I overshot on some of these tasks. If we get timeouts, we can always increase the timeout again.
